A Building Plans fold listing the output documents available for the project's linked design job. Each output can be generated and downloaded; failures are shown per output. Crews can link or disconnect a design job only if permitted.
Also called: drawings · plans on site · download the plan · SmartBuild outputs
The drawings live on the job, not in a tool the crew can't log into
Assembly drawing, post layout, elevations, wall layout, cross-section, sheathing layout — generated and downloaded from inside the project. The crew needs the drawing, and it used to live in an estimating tool they had no login for, so plans got texted, printed, or read out over the phone. Sooner or later somebody frames off a revision that was superseded, and that mistake comes back down off the wall.
It opens by itself for the crew and stays folded for the office
For the office it is one panel among a dozen. For a crew lead it is the reason he opened the job at all, on a phone, in a truck, at seven in the morning. The section expands automatically on crew accounts and stays collapsed on everyone else's.
One drawing failing doesn't take the whole panel down
Each output generates and reports on its own, so a failure names the sheet that failed instead of leaving a blank panel and a man guessing. He knows whether to wait or to phone the office.
Pairing the job to its design takes a decision, and so does undoing it
The project finds its design job through the direct pairing where one exists and falls back to matching by name where it doesn't, so drawings turn up on jobs that were linked long before anyone thought about it. Disconnecting takes a confirmation and is limited to people allowed to manage plans — a crew lead cannot unhook the drawings from under the next crew.
- 1Opens by resolving the direct project→job mapping first, falling back to matching the cached job list by name
- 2Output options are fetched and rendered per slot with individual download and failure state
- 3The fold auto-expands for crew leads and workers — the people who actually need the drawing
- 4Disconnecting a linked job takes a confirmation
The crew on site needs the drawing, and the drawing lived in an estimating tool crews have no logins for — so plans got texted, printed or read out over the phone, and eventually somebody built off a revision that had been superseded. Plans sit on the job. The section opens automatically for crew accounts, because for the office it is one panel among many and for a crew lead it is the reason he opened the job at all.

- Crews working from stale printouts
